SPECIAL FEATURES
This section outlines some of the special features that
can be conÞgured for your radio. However, not all
models come equipped with these features.
All references to what is shown on the display is only
valid for Model II radios. Throughout this section, the
display below
is used to indicate the radioÕs home display.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
Pressing the top emergency button (for radios with
emergency operation) sends out an emergency signal,
which takes precedence over any other signalling
activity in progress. This emergency signal can take
two forms: emergency alarm and emergency call. Your
radio can have either or both signal types enabled.
¥ The emergency alarm feature alerts the dis-
patcher, who is using a special terminal, to an
emergency condition and identiÞes the unit
sending the emergency signal.
¥ The emergency call (radios with trunked emer-
gency operation only) is a type of dispatch oper-
ation which gives your radio priority access.
Emergency call is programmable for either tacti-
cal or non-tactical operation. Tactical emergency
operation places the call to the currently
selected mode; non-tactical operation places the
call to a predetermined emergency mode.
ÒEmergencyÓ signals a critical situation. It should
NEVER be used for any other reason.
